Jeff Funke joins me to talk about the VHDF.  Building a better mouse trap can be difficult, but a few dedicated people found that it was possible. The Versatile Hunting Dog Federation wanted to bring better clarity to the judgement of the versatile hunting dog.  For breeders and buyers, the more details in test scores will be invaluable when making decisions. The better the test. The better the dog!! Links Below! Behind the Dog Films - Available Now!

Mike Amman invited me to watch a sharptail lek from a ground blind, and to help set up live traps, with the hope of getting a radio collar on a bird that will help The Wisconsin Sharptail Grouse Society to keep this remnant population on the path to flourishing and expand their range. This is true conservation work, in real time!!

Glen Blackwood stops over to the kennel to catch up on our season and the Woodcock Society's Birthday.

Cole Cushman doesn't sell outdoor gear, but he does sell something that most of us tend to forget.  Gun & Trophy insurance may be the last thing on our minds before a trip.  Cole walks us through the simple and inexpensive process. And of course we dig into his English Setter that he will never forget.

Pass it On - Outdoor Mentors  Passing on traditions and a lifestyle

I had to find the combination to the old episode vault. This one jumped out at me like a hound jumping a bear. Way back in the day, I sought out guests that most folks never heard of.
